I've seen a huge number of these on multiprocessor machines -- you mention
in a later message that your system has two CPUs.  Our quad-CPU build
systems see them very frequently, while our dual-CPU systems see them
hardly at all.

It's been suggested that these are memory errors -- that is, hardware
failures -- but I can't see any other evidence that the memory in these
systems is bad.  I think we must have some kind of race in the VM system.
